Provisioning

Provisioning is the process of stocking a yacht with food, beverages, fuel, water, and other supplies before or during a charter. Charter companies typically offer provisioning as an optional service, with varying levels of involvement from basic staples to fully pre-stocked galleys. Guests can also self-provision by shopping at local ports. Provisioning costs and availability depend on destination and charter duration. Many charter companies offer split provisioning options, where basics are pre-loaded and guests purchase fresh items at local markets during the sailing week.
